Helloween’s Michael Weikath Interview with Metal Storm

Metal Storm interviews Michael Weikath, guitarist for Helloween, before their show in Colorado on October 2nd. The fifteen-minute interview begins with a discussion of Helloween’s recent US tour (“straightforward and thought-through” says Weikath), and moves on to club tours vs. arena gigs, setlists, future plans, and 70000 Tons of Metal.

On the topic of the modifying nature of the metal genre, Weikath comments that “it will always change”, and though metal will constantly fluctuate between more extreme and classical approaches, ultimately “both has its place in rock history.”
